Juan Williams is a liberal. He may work for Fox News (and be hated by other liberals because of it) but he is a down the line, mainstream liberal. Williams, like most liberals in the media, has been stumping for the Common Core since its inception and is still a fan of the massive government takeover, even as we see it failing around the country. Recently on Fox News he had the misfortune of running into the buzz saw that is the brilliant George Will – and Will set him straight on the Common Core. (more…)

This country’s media is overrun by liberals. They dominate the networks and rule the roost at most large newspapers. Their beliefs hold sway in the majority of the opinion and analysis columns spewed forth each day for public consumption. And even when one of them forgets himself and criticizes a left-leaning Democrat, he/she can never go whole-hog and just stick to pounding that poor, poor Democrat. Oh, no, within that opinion, liberals must devote a good portion – usually half the inches – to pound away at a conservative or a Republican. They just can’t help themselves. (more…)

It amuses many of us in the news business how quickly and viciously the “elite” media reacts whenever anyone on the Right objects to their one-sided coverage of Republicans and Democrats. Does anyone – expect for a partisan Leftist – not see the obvious dissatisfaction Americans have with the establishment media, both print and network? The conservative Media Research Center has been tracking media bias since 1996. And they are consistently Right-On. (more…)

Leftism (Obamaism) has failed utterly. It has failed everywhere and it has never done anything else but fail. From the murderous, leftist tyrannies of the Soviet Union andChinato the soft but nonetheless oppressive and stagnant socialism of a moribund Europe, the relativist, wealth-crushing, overweening state has revealed itself to be an engine of misery and collapse. The Democrats believe in it and the Republicans rally against it. Here are 10 reasons to vote GOP.(more…)

Though it is not currently a hot ticket debate in Illinois, there is a battle looming between Conservatives and Liberals in Illinois over adoptions by gay and lesbian couples. Neither political party can voice exclusive support for either side of this issue. It does appear that the majority Democratic Party does not see eye-to-eye with Catholic charities.

Americans are living longer than ever due in large part to advancements in science, but you wouldn’t know it from listening to the wailing and gnashing of teeth by environmental extremists. Trans fatty acids, salt, light bulbs, saccharin, SUVs, smoking, alcohol, DDT, donuts and Happy Meals have all been attacked. Now they’re after soap – when it is going to stop?

We’ve all heard, ad nauseam, from Hollywood’s liberal movie stars and celebrities; we all know how they feel about America: they’re appalled, of course. They wail about the rich in this country being cold-hearted and not doing their “fair share” and they go on and on the evils of capitalism. Who are America’s rich?

The radicals – read: socialists, communists and the Democratic Party never stop trying to control the people of this country. They believe THEY know what is good for us and if America doesn’t accept their “view” they attempt to find a like-minded politician or judge to force us to accept it. Here is one of their silliest ideas.

Watching TV news as a boy, I was given a false impression of the ACLU by the talking heads who were the only source of news before talk radio, cable and the Internet. They convinced me, and most of my generation that this organization was the guardian angel of the United States. It was only after I became more politically astute, that I understood the men and women of the ACLU were not safeguarding America’s freedom, they were determined to undermine it.

Just because you do not take an interest in politics does not mean politics won’t take an interest in you! — Pericles (430 B.C.)

Today we are in the midst of a cultural U-turn away from a Hamiltonian meritocratic-elitist, centralized-power society to a more Jeffersonian Main Street focus that would have state and local governments as the primary powerbrokers.
